When will support for Lion be discontinued ?

I am one of the happy Macpro users with a 2007 or earlier unit that apparently can not be upgraded. How long should I expect Apple will be supporting OS 10.7?

As another Lion user, I think "support" comes in different flavors. Adding great new features pretty much stopped when OS 10.8 was released (Mountain Lion was the great new feature). Still, as steve359 points out, security support continues, at least for now (e.g., the XProtect malware list was last updated 10/8/13).
But security is becoming a full-time issue requiring active efforts to harden browsers and Internet connections (see this and this for steps to take) as well as elevated caution when surfing. Apple can help, but the buck stops at the keyboard.

  • When will SUpport for Oracle 8i Stop??

    Hi All
    Can anyone tell me if there is a schedule available for the life time of Oracle products.
    Specifically I am interested to know when Oracle will stop supporting Oracle 8i RDBMS.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kim

    The certification matrix on Metalink (http://metalink.oracle.com) and available from the OTN home page (under "Get Support") have links to the Oracle desupport notices.
    Error Correction Support (what most people refer to as support) for 8.1.7.4 on all platforms will end at the end of 2004. On some platforms, it ended at the end of 2003. Extended support extends that by a few years.

  • Arch installation image::when will support for F2FS be added

    I'm just curious about when the installation medium will support F2FS.  I know from an installation that functionality can be installed, but my situation makes that problematic.

    Just to help even more than the above post which is really helpful.
    Quick HOW-TO install arch on f2fs filesystem with latest April.1 official live media.
    Install f2fs-tools from aur, format root partition, format boot partition, modprobe f2fs before mounting and chrooting, add f2fs in modules list in mkinitcpio.conf on installed system.
    This is one of the many ways:
    (follow arch official installation guide)
    create you partitions - you need to create boot partition!
    (Before chrooting)
    Add repo which contains yaourt to /etc/pacman.conf
    [heftig]
    SigLevel = PackageOptional
    Server = http://pkgbuild.com/~heftig/repo/$arch
    Install required dependencies (maybe I've missed some) and yaourt
    sudo pacman -Syy
    sudo pacman -S autoconf automake make gcc binutils yaourt
    Install f2fs-tools finally
    yaourt -S f2fs-tools
    Load kernel  module
    modprobe f2fs
    (in case your root partition is /dev/sda1 and boot partition is /dev/sda2)
    create root partition as f2fs filesystem
    mkfs.f2fs /dev/sda1
    and boot partition as ext4 (or whatever you want)
    mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
    mount, install and chroot as per official installation guide
    add f2fs to modules section (should be empty) in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    remove fsck from hooks section (since f2fs doesn't have fsck yet)
    re-generate the initramfs image
    mkinitcpio -p linux
    after you're done with everything, reboot and voila, there you have it.
    Here are some benchmarks for those interested

    Everything is very fast but I can't compare my view of performance to other filesystems since this is my first SSD.

  • When will OS X Lion be compatible with Avid's Pro Tools 9, or any Pro Tools for that matter?

    When will OS X Lion be compatible with Avid's Pro Tools 9, or any Pro Tools for that matter?

    There's less money to be made from compatibility than there is from "forced upgrades."  Why would AVID be concerned with their older product working with the new OS when they can release another version for people to pay $250+ for?  Free bug-fix download vs. latest software upgrade?  You've got two companies with virtual monopolies on the pro audio market.  It's a win-win for them.
    So what does that say to me about the handful that do not?  The incompatibility is a marketing decision, not a shortcoming.
    Am I close?

  • Getting invalid packages when installing support for stored java objects

    I am getting invalid packages notices when installing support for stored java objects in Forms 9i that can with the Oracle 9iDS Suite. In the post installation notes it says to locate a few SQL files, PLB files and a JAR file and run them. On executing the SQL package that will install the rest , I am logged in as SYSTEM as the instructions stated, I get an error when it tries to load the PLB files ( which are encrypted from Oracle). Any one else have this problem or know of a solution?
    If you need more information please let me know and I will try to respond promptly.
    Thanks
    Chad Leath

    The PLB package is called ORA_DE_REFLECTION. I forgot to mention this in the previous post.

  • When will Apple fix Lion OS X v10.7 from freezing after my 27" Mac is put to sleep? I must admit that I am amazed that Apple would release an OS that has this problem, for that matter any serious problem.

    When will Apple come up with a fix for Lion OSX v10.7 from freezing after Lion is put to sleep?  My 27"Mac freezes after being put to sleep and a hrad boot is required to be able to use the system.  I have complained to the local Apples store numerous times. The Genious Bar re-installed the OS and it crashed the very next day and continues to crash two or three times per week.  I am amazed that Apples would relase a product, any product before it has been proven to be solid, then again, look at the release of the newest IPhone 4-S.

    So do you have a question about how to fix your system?
    The question/problem is "My 27"Mac freezes after being put to sleep."
    Gabor, I can't help, except to report that I, too, experience very frequent unexplained crashes and freezes in Lion. However (so far) not when I put it to sleep.
    There are a lot of reports about freezes. Here's one. Maybe you should join that thread. Someone there is also reporting that "Lion has a bug that freezes the system when waking the system from sleep."
    Are you getting freezes/crashes at other times or only when sleeping the computer?
    And does it successfully go to sleep?
    Does it freeze when you wake it, or at the point where you're putting it to sleep?

  • HT203088 Any ideas when RAW support for the Nikon D7200 will be available?

    Hi
    I have recently bought the Nikon D7200. However Apple have not released their support for the RAW files. I am wondering what the likely timeframe is for support to be released? I do not want to make the switch to Adobe to get support and Nikons software isn't much fun at all so want to avoid that.
    In the meantime I am stuck using jpg...
    Any realistic timeframe estimates appreciated...
    James

    It used to be pretty quick with Nikons and Canons - some even before the camera was released! But now in the new Photos regime, we can't really say.

  • When will updates for iphone 4s stop being sent, any ideas?

    Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has an idea of when support/updates will cease for the iphone 4s? I'm thinking about upgrading to the iphone 6plus but given the problems people are having on here, I'm having second thoughts and may just well stick with the 4s for the time being.
    Many thanks
    Georgina

    Thanks, thought I'd see if there were any rumours of when it would be stopped. Think I'll have the battery changed as it's doesn't last very long at all, as they say 'better the devil you know' and all that.

  • When will support Android smartphones?

    Some of our customers are very angry because Android Smartphones are not supported.
    We have produce some apps in many Renditions for Android.
    The problem is, that they are not visible in the Google Play Store.
    The requirements of large or x-large is given.
    But something in the "manifest.xml" of the .apk-File prevents the visibility.
    When I install the .apk-File manually, the application works perfectly.
    Please give me an answer when Adobe will support Android Smartphones like Samsung Galaxy SII or SIII.
    It´s a great market for our customers and they do not accept that it does not work.

    Formally in 2013.

  • When will AUSST for CS6 be available?

    We are starting to provision Adobe CS6 out to our users.  We want to have an in-house Adobe Update Server for CS6.  We have one for CS5 and CS5.5 but are not able to find the Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) for CS6.  I'm assuming this is going to be version 3?  When will the new version of AUSST be released?

    Please use the AUSST available on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html. You will be able to setup update server for both CS55 as well as CS6 products.
    Although AUSST technote doesnt explicitely mention CS6 support, you can use the same tool for syncing all the updates - CS5, CS55 and CS6.
    please let me know if you see any issue in using AUSST for setting up CS6 updates server.
    thanks,
